NJ Quarter Features Ellis Island

The U.S. Mint has introduced a quarter as part of its "America the Beautiful" program that features the New Jersey side of Ellis Island.

The "Island of Hope" coin made its debut Wednesday on the island, where millions of immigrants arrived in the United States. The quarter depicts an immigrant family, with the island's hospital in the background. The hospital is on the New Jersey side of the island, which the state shares with New York.
